Christmas '07

Our first stop for Christmas '07 was in Chicago. When we got there it was cold but two days later it got MUCH colder! Sunday I think the windchill was 3 degrees - burrrrr!!!!

First stop on our night out was Gold Star. Tom, Derek, Pete, Matt, Pete, and Lauren.



Next stop was at the Brahaus for some beer and good German food! Dan decided to drink his beer out of a boot!



Despina, Pieper, Luke, and Nicole!


Brad, Courtney, Derek, Lauren, Matt, and Pete.



The Martha Stewart Tree at the Walnut Room. This is a family tradition for Pete's family - Brunch at the Walnut Room on Christmas Eve. Although they are a little jaded that it is now Macy's and not Marshall Fields! It isn't as popular as it once was and Macy's is slowly changing it for the worse! But it is tradition!!

Day at the Park

Today (December 9th) it was in the 70s in Atlanta so I met Lisa, Tim, and Lea at Centennial Olympic Park. Lea was having a play date with her friend Julia.


Lea was trying to call Julia to see where she was.


Lea is getting very close to crawling. She gets in the position but then falls back down on her belly.



The sun waas out so Lea had to put her hat on!



Julia finally made it and she was very happy to see Lea!



Lea was facinated by the way the grass felt on her hands!
